Application Process

2005-2006

Applying to Trinity

1.  Complete the common application form and return it to the Office of Admissions.

2.  Ask the school which you are now attending (or have attended most recently) to mail a certified transcript and/or, if applicable, official examination results. If any course work has been completed at another university or institution of higher education, an official transcript or record of your college studies must also be sent.

3.  Submit test results for the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT I) or American College Test (ACT).  The TOEFL examination is highly encouraged for all students whose native language is not English or who come from countries where English is not the primary language. We recommend minimum scores of 600 and 250 on the paper- and computer-based examinations respectively.  Those students whose native language is English must submit test results from the SAT I or ACT.  Students are encouraged to submit any test results from their country’s educational system.

4.  Ask an advisor, counselor, or headmaster from the last educational institution you attended to complete the Secondary School Report and submit a letter of recommendation.

5.  Ask one of your instructors from an academic discipline to complete the Teacher Evaluation Form and submit a letter of recommendation.

6.  Complete Trinity's Statement of Financial Support for Foreign Students, and obtain the required certification or documentation from a bank official.

7.  You must document the source of funding to meet expenses of your education at Trinity for four years, including allowances for inflation. Starting with the 2005-2006 academic year the approximate expenses in US dollars, including travel costs, will be as follows:

1 year: $32,000
2 year: $33,500
3 year: $35,000
4 year: $36,500

The Office of Admission cannot consider your application until the Statement of Financial Support (DOF form) has been received. This form is required for the university to issue you the US Immigration and Naturalization Service I-20 form.

8.  If you are offered admission and choose to attend for the semester for which you were admitted, you must pay a $500 deposit.   Trinity will generate and mail an I-20 form to you when the deposit is received.

9.  Upon receipt of the I-20 form, you must present the I-20 to a U.S. consulate or embassy in your home country to apply for a student visa.
